If the devs screw this up, the modding community will fix it.

I have an idea for an invention, but I don't have the tools or materials to make it, nor do I have the proper space to make it. I have blueprints drawn and experts consulted on design, but not the means to actually do it.

That property has more rights and protections than people do.

The value of human life, in reality, is much lower than I thought it would be.

Laws and rights are only as good as the people & mechanisms that enforce them. A piece of paper doesn't protect you, people do.

That people often prefer a comforting delusion over the truth, even if it hurts them in the long run.

Only about two or three here on this site. I don't mind people who believe strange and disturbing things, politically or otherwise. It's the deliberate trolls that I block.

I sort of see the appeal of having kids, but I can barely keep things together for myself. There's no way I can support myself and kids. Even with my boyfriends income and mine, it's just not realistic.

I have a rechargeable mouse from a no-name Chinese company, and they put the port at the nose of the mouse. It works like a wired mouse when plugged in and charging.

How has Apple not figured this out?

You can't go back. This isn't just a political difference of opinion, this is a full blown violent cult. We need greater funding for mental health and deprogramming services.

Shipwright welder. I crawl all throughout the bowels of Navy and civilian ships with my gear in tow. I build new areas, cut out old areas, and perform repairs on hulls and pipes.

If it's local city elections, it's difficult as the line between parties gets fuzzy. Some candidates have little to no info on their policies and such.

If I can't find anything about them at all, I won't vote for them. If they're hyper religious or make it their main focus of their campaign, I won't vote for them. Other than that, it's just a coin toss.

Larger elections like stare and national are a bit easier. If they have the letter R next to their name, it's safe to assume they're insane, evil, or both. It's become the norm these days. That makes it a choice between independants and democrats. I guess it comes down to which has better policies on issues I care about.

We're going to see a whole lot of crying next week. A lot of fake persecution claims.

This, 100%.

I'm not about to tarnish my professional reputation just to spite a clueless customer.

Freelance welding on my days off. A customer wanted to hire me to make a fence gate, but he didn't have solid blueprints. He had a crude sketch drawn on a scrap of paper, but no specific measurements. I offered to come by and take measurements, but he didn't even have a fence base to take measurements off of.

Essentially, he wanted me to construct a property fence gate of unspecified size and install it to a nonexistent perimeter fence. I told him these issues, but he didn't care. He wanted me to build this fence gate, but he didn't know what size, what materials, and where to install it.

I fired him. A welder's reputation means everything. I'm not about to make a thing for a customer who doesn't actually know what he wants. I did him a favor by walking away and not taking his money.
